Amy Winehouse may be slowly pummeling her fanbase into submission but ,as this list shows, artist-on-audience violence is nothing new.

The Wino Songbird

Note the pale creature in her natural habitat, how she appears calm and docile, her beehive sitting motionlessly upon her head, but should she be startled by an unwelcome intruder, even an unsuspecting member of the public, her response is both swift and furious. This is the scenario that occurred twice in the past week. At the Glastonbury festival the slight warbler -- controversial rock star Amy Winehouse -- lashed out at a fan. She walloped another fan last Saturday night, this time outside her house in London as he tried to take her picture. A source told The Sun (U.K.) that "Amy had her bottom pinched and blamed the fan taking her picture. She just lashed out and clumped him. He laughed it off." (The hits keep on coming, with another pub attack happening this week.) But who's really to blame when musicians and fans collide? We put ten notorious cases on our docket. Here are the verdicts.

Verdict: The singer's reps claim that she lashed out at a fan because he tried to grab her hair. Eyewitness and inadvertent elbow-to-the-face recipient James Gastelow, 25, of London, explains that someone behind him threw a hat that crashed into her beehive. Bottom line: you don't mess with a girl's do, especially a Jewish girl who hasn't eaten in three years. What happens is that her heart rate will climb to 200, at which point she will turn into an angry, bruise-covered monster.
